Chicago Tribune - Gene Siskel
For its first hour is as exciting an action picture as the Die Hard films. The tension and humor level tail off a bit toward the conclusion, but Steven Seagal and Chicago director Andy Davis clearly declare themselves as top-flight talent.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The formula is obvious: Die Hard Goes to Sea. I walked into the screening in a cynical frame of mind, but then a funny thing happened. The movie started working for me.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
In the brutally efficient Under Siege, Seagal, with his soft-spoken nihilist charm, attempts to move beyond limb-snapping exploitation and into epically scaled mainstream thrillers. He succeeds — but only because this sort of slick action bash doesn’t require a star with much personality. At this point, personality might only get in the way.

Empire - Ian Nathan
This no-brainer is fine if all you're after a bit of escapism, but don't look for anything deeper than that.

The New York Times - Vincent Canby
As wild as the premise is, Under Siege is almost guiltily enjoyable.
